Abstract :
A parametric state reward Markov model (SRMM/p) has been developed for the survivability assessment of restorable SONET networks. Based upon this model, we developed a tool to evaluate reliability, availability and transient and steady-state restorability of such networks. In addition to providing some details of the implementations of the tool, we show some numerical examples in order to illustrate the usage of it
